Does anyone have a line on a WS32 that is a hurricane write-off (etc.) that parts can be salvaged from?

I need to replace one of the teak caprail 'S' curve pieces (port forward).  Yes, I have the construction plans and could have one fabricated except the teak available to me locally in the size needed is really poor quality.

I was hoping/thinking someone might have access to some WS32 salvage.

I have a. . .

I'm just kidding :).  Happy Thanksgiving!

That's good news Steve... check your email

Oh wow.. That is HIS boat?

As I've been asking around if anyone knew where I could find good teak people would advise me to 'just fiberglass it'.  No thanks, envisioning some crappy glass over wood job not to mention the loss of all that beautiful traditional wood.

That was before I saw those pics.  If I knew I could replace my caprail with something that nice looking I would do it in a heartbeat.  Well, maybe not THAT fast but I would definitely swap my teak for something that looked that good.

It's mainly the caprail that is the bulk of the work since it's the biggest area in the sun all the time. The rest is either under the awning or in the shade.  This time, once this caprail repair/refinish job is done I am definitely having covers made.  Just long strips of cheap tarp material held on with 'clips' made of large dia PVC pipe.
